Room to breathe. Room to be.

Tapnell Manor has been thoughtfully refurbished and recently enhanced, bringing together the character of a traditional farmhouse with the comforts of modern living. Beautifully updated interiors sit alongside original beams and open fires, creating a home that's spacious enough for large groups, yet cosy and welcoming too. It's full of little luxuries including a large kitchen with an AGA range, a games room, a conservatory overlooking the gardens and plenty of thoughtful touches throughout.

Outside, beautiful gardens, ponds, patio and the outdoor pizza oven provide even more space to relax, dine and spend time together.

Think multi-generational family holidays, group retreats with couples and kids, or happy reunions with old friends. Tapnell Manor is the perfect base from which to explore the Isle of Wight's beaches, countryside and charming towns. Or, if you prefer, a luxurious home from home. A place to cook fresh pizzas together, host a little friendly competition in the games room, and enjoy the simple pleasure of slow days and good company.

Acres of fun, at your convenience

Luxury farmhouse accommodation is only part of what makes a stay at Tapnell Manor so special. We're just as passionate about family fun - the kind that makes you forget about checking your emails, or the time, and just enjoy each and every moment.

Tapnell Manor is mere moments from our main attractions. Here, you can meet the animals at Tapnell Farm Park, splash and bounce at our outdoor Aqua Park and try all sorts of all-ages activities. And if you don't fancy cooking, you've got The Cow, our award-winning restaurant, just around the corner. Or head back to the Manor, light the pizza oven and enjoy an evening together. However you choose to spend your stay, everything you need is right on your doorstep.

There's Colwell Bay, with its sand & shingle beach, calm waters and beach huts. There's Yarmouth, with its cobbled streets and independent eateries. Where will your adventure take you?

  Luxury Family Glamping

We stayed 4 nights in the dome meadow in the most beautiful dome tent. On arrival the accommodation was spotless and so well presented with everything we needed for our stay. The dome was heated with a Dyson heater so we had a lovely warm welcome. The fridge was stocked with fresh milk and cold water, the fires were ready to be lit and all our beds were being warmed by electric blankets ready for the evening. The farm park was a 5 minute walk across the field, past the lambs and llama!! I have already recommended our stay to friends and we hope to be returning soon!!

  Great venue for a weekend break

Booked a long weekend break for the whole family + dog as a surprise 70th birthday treat for my wife. We thoroughly enjoyed it, the cabin style accommodation was really nice and for a group of 6 adults, 2 toddlers and a dog it did not seem cramped at all. The on site attractions were just right for the kiddies and we didn't have to go off site for anything, plenty to see and do. Heartily recommend it for people of all ages.
